When I trust Him,
My steps become a little lighter;
My breathing becomes a bit easier;
My thinking becomes a bit clearer.
When I trust Him,
I can let go of my burdens;
I can find peace in the midst of my storms;
I can meet uncertainty with courage.
When I trust Him,
I learn to face my fears with boldness;
I learn to rely on His strength to sustain me;
I learn to believe in the impossible.
When I trust Him,
I don’t have to live in shame;
I don’t have to be bound by my failures and regrets;
I don’t have to be constrained by the expectations of others.
When I trust Him,
I begin to love myself;
I begin to see beauty in my weaknesses;
I begin to find acceptance and self-worth.
When I trust Him,
I know that I am never alone;
I know that I always have someone to depend on;
I know that I always have arms to run to for shelter, rest, comfort, encouragement.
When I trust Him,
My sins are forgiven;
My hope is restored;
My life is forever changed.
When I trust Him…
Yes, I trust Him…
Lord, give me strength to trust you…
I don’t want to be the same.
